Plot

A woman goes behind bars in order to save her father's life.

To save her father, Carmelo Musumeci, whom a gang of drug traffickers accuse of making 20 kilos of heroin "disappear," young Lilly is incarcerated--insulting two traffic police officers--to get in touch with a girl, Daniela Vinci, who knows how things really went. Ignoring that her father died falling from a ruined house trying to escape the gang, Lilly manages to wrest the drugs from the young woman after some futile attempts, and while mysterious recluses, with a supervisor's complicity, terrorize Daniela to prevent her from speaking. But knowing the truth will be of no use because, warned by the prison's director, a faithful servant of the drug traffickers will--after his release--kill both her and the police commissioner to whom he had entrusted the information obtained by Daniela.—Cinematografo

Innocent Lily finds herself accused of drug trafficking after her involvement with a dangerous criminal wanted by the police. Not knowing that her boyfriend is involved with the Mafia, she is arrested while going to Switzerland. However, the disappearance of 20kg of pure heroin triggers a merciless cycle of suspicion and violence, both from the police and the vicious leaders of the drug smuggling ring. Now, without understanding why, Lily is confined in a brutal purgatory reserved for female convicts, where perversion, humiliation, sexual assault and, often death, are on the daily menu.—Nick Riganas
